We're bringing my family farm back to life. My parents farmed here until the 1980's, but couldn't make a profit with corn and soybeans. My husband, Nate, and I moved home in 2014, and started turning the fields into pastures. Today, we run Nightfall Farm, raise animals with respect, and sell pasture-raised meat locally. Come wander the 125 acres of woods, wetlands, and farm. Check out the animals in our pastures, and walk along the Muscatatuck River. Enjoy a quiet fire. Hear the roar of frogs calling in Spring. Chase fireflies. Behold a family farm coming back to life.

This is our second time here and my goodness, it’s perfect. My daughter loves hiking on the property and petting the horses. It has everything you NEED and the warm shelter after a rainy hike at McCormicks Creek State Park is always what we need. Can’t wait to come back again. Our little dude with Cerebral Palsy could absolutely love this property too.

It was so nice to stay on a farm near some hiking trails. We felt very comfortable in the tiny cabin with air conditioning and all the fixings for camping that we needed. It was a beautiful drive to the cabin as well!

Nightfall Farms was an absolute dream! The hosts were kind, helpful, communicative, and made sure everything went smoothly. The outdoor kitchen was an absolute highlight, and we loved getting to spend some time with the new piglets. 10/10 recommend.

Liz’s cabin is charming and cozy. The property is beautiful and Liz was kind and responsive.
We took our kids to creek stomp and swim at Muscatatuck county park about 30 minutes away and it was perfect, just what we were looking for!
I would definitely recommend a stay at nightfall farm.
*there is a barn cat that comes and hangs out at the cabin (outstayed his welcome as he stole some of our food and tried to bite me). Just beware if you are not cat people. Liz kindly put him away after we asked her.

Weekend Trip to Nightfall Farm
The cabin was amazing. It was all I could ask for in a secluded retreat without actually being too far away from folks or from home. I didn't get to chat with Nate, but Liz and her mom, Carol were amazing. Croft was also a very attentive host as were the doggos. The woods were great to walk in and get connected back to nature. I would recommend to a solo camper or someone bringing a friend. Oh, the outdoor kitchen was amazing.

Weekend Trip to Nightfall Farm
Loved my stay at nightfall Farm! The cabin is tucked behind the barn in the woods and is very private. I felt safe, secluded, and it was so lovely to wake up to a dozen different bird calls (according to my bird app).
Instructions and signage were clear and everything was lined out so I felt comfortable while I was there. Good communication with the hosts!
Walking the property and along the road at sunset and early morning was peaceful. I saw a few little green snakes and lots of wildflowers! The area where the farm is is really beautiful.
The cabin was great. I loved all the repurposed items that were used to build it. There's a ceiling fan and a couple of electrical outlets, which was nice. Had a great breeze overnight through the many windows. The porch swing outfront was really cool, too.
The two dogs were very friendly to me and Croft the cat, while he was a jerk, was also very sweet. He had no problem being confined to his carrier while I was eating my meal I cooked on the outdoor in the outdoor kitchen
Remember you are in the country, and there could be a multitude of different bugs - I wasn't bothered by too many of them. Spotty and limited cell service, although when I walked down to the far end of the road I was able to get a good signal.
The (outside) kitchen/picnic area could be dusty..... just like when you're camping.
Overall, everything was just really great!
